The addressbook and the rest of Evolution needs people like Ross. I'm
glad to see you on the team!

Personally I find addressbook interesting because it's one of the
easier components to try out new things on that still has big
business, or end user value. Syncing for example, is very interesting
for addressbook.

If there is anything I can do for dbus EDS, I'd be glad to help..
